Chapter 3 Lightning Protection

3.1 Cabling Reasonably

In the actual network environment, you may need cable outdoors and indoors, and

the requirements for cabling outdoors and indoors are different. A reasonable

cabling system can decrease the damage of induced lightning to devices.

Note: It's not recommended using Ethernet cables outdoors. When cabling

outdoors, please use a signal lightning arrester.

■

Requirements for Cabling Outdoors

■

Aerial cabling without safeguard is not allowed.

■

It’s not allowed cabling down the building to connect network devices in different

floors.

■

Outdoor cables should be buried and paved to the indoor through basement. A

piece of steel wire should be paved underground along the pipe and connected

to the lightning protection terminal of the building for shielding. Before

connecting the cable to the device, install a signal lightning arrester on the

corresponding port.

■

When an aerial cable is set up, the cable should be through a metal pipe (15m

long at least) before coming into the building. The two ends of this metal pipe

should be grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install a signal

lightning arrester on the corresponding port.

■

It’s not necessary to pave STP cables through pipes. The shielded layer of STP

cable should be well grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install

a signal lightning arrester on the corresponding port.

Gigabit Smart Switch

Lightning Protection

■

Requirements for Cabling Indoors

When cabling indoors, keep a certain distance away from the devices that may

cause high-frequency interferences, such as down-conductor cable, powerline,

power transformer and electromotor.

■

The main cable should be paved in the metal raceway of the access shaft. When

cabling, keep the loop area formed by the cable itself as small as possible.

■

Requirements for the distance between Ethernet cable and other pipelines are

shown in the table.

3.2 Connect to Ground

Connecting the device to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and

over-current of the device, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body

from electric shock.

In different environments, the device may be grounded differently. The following

will instruct you to connect the device to the ground in two ways, connecting to the

ground via the power supply or connecting to the ground via the grounding terminal.

Please connect the device to ground in the optimum way according to your specific

operation environment.

Note:

For the device without grounding terminal, please refer to the first way

Connecting to the Ground via the Power Supply only.

■

Connecting to the Ground via the Power Supply

If the device is installed in the normal environment, the device can be grounded via

the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of the AC power supply as shown in the following

figure.

Gigabit Smart Switch

Lightning Protection

Note:

■

The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The power plug you

get from the package and the socket in your situation will comply with the

regulation in your country, so they may differ from the figure above.

■

If you intend to connect the device to the ground via the PE (Protecting

Earth) cable of AC power cord, please make sure the PE (Protecting Earth)

cable in the electrical outlet is well grounded in advance.

■

Connecting to the Ground via the Grounding Terminal

Use the grounding bar

Lightning Protection

Equipotential Bonding

Equipotential Bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all

earthed systems to the same grounding grid or connecting the grounding grids of

all the earthed systems together through the ground or overground metal so as

to create an earthed equipotential zone. When lightning occurs, the high voltage

produced by lightning current in all systems will meanwhile exist in their ground

cables, and thus all ground cables have the same electrical potential and basically

eliminate the electric strikes between the systems.

The figure below illustrates how to practice equipotential bonding in a network.

Grounding Terminal Equipotential Bonding Cable

Grounding Bar

Ground Cable

Figure 3-3 Equipotential Bonding

When equipotential bonding, please note that the cable should be copper wrapped

Kelly with its area being 6mm

at least. The shorter cable the better, and use a

grounding bar to establish an equipotential bonding point.

Note:

The equipotential bonding cable and ground cable are not provided with

our product. If needed, please self purchase it.

Use Lightning Arrester

Power lightning arrester and signal lightning arrester are used for lighting

protection.

Power lightning arrester is used for limiting the voltage surge due to a lightning. If

an outdoor AC power cord should be directly connected to the device, please use a

power lightning arrester.
